Farm Day 2013

The kids and I always LOVE Farm Day.  It's a great opportunity for our kids to get to see and pet different kinds of farm animals.  I'm so glad our high school agriculture program is able to come and do this for the kids.

The Strongest One Play

We read the Play The Strongest One this week in class.  Each student was given a part in the play.  We made character headbands and *kind of* acted out the play.  They were so excited to do this.  I think they did a fantastic job.  Hope you like it.  :)

Subjects and Predicates Rap

My niece showed me this Subject and Predicate Rap Video on YouTube and I just loved it.  Guess what?  So did my kiddos!  They begged me everyday to watch it.  We had already learned about subjects and predicates the previous week, but I think this really helped them remember what they are and it was also a great review. I love when they are excited about learning!

Grandparent's Day, 2013

WE LOVE OUR GRANDPARENTS and SPECIAL FRIENDS!  This is always an exciting day at APS.  Grandparents or special friends come visit and the kids can take them on a tour of our school.  The book fair is always here during this time, so it's fun to take Grandparents to that.  :) 

First Week Jitters

This post is LATE, but I wanted to share these pictures.  
On the first day of school we read First Day Jitters. This is such a fun book to read on the first day. My kids LOVED it.  We talked about what "jitters" are.  Then we talked and wrote about the "jitters" we had about going to school on the first day/first week.  When the kids got back from PE, they had Jitter Juice waiting on them.  I think they liked it :)

Check out our AWESOME 2nd grade class.  What a GREAT looking group!  

I can't wait to TEACH these kiddos.
